Candice Alig

Candice Alig is a licensed professional clinical counselor practicing in Kentucky, holding independent licensure to practice in both Ohio and Kentucky. She brings eight years of experience in the mental health field and has worked as both an individual and group counselor supporting people through a wide range of concerns.

Her work has focused on stress, anxiety, addictions, self-esteem challenges, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, anger management, and bipolar disorder. She has developed extensive expertise in substance use concerns after nearly five years of working closely with that population.

Candice earned a bachelor’s degree in anthropology and a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Northern Kentucky University. She became a counselor out of a long-standing interest in understanding people through their stories and a desire to make a positive difference in others' lives.

In her approach she emphasizes kindness and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people identify their existing strengths and use those strengths to pursue the life they want. She commonly incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, tailoring these strategies to each client’s needs.

She values the opportunity to work alongside people as they take important steps toward change and growth.
